Incomplete, yes. But that's simply because an Infocom work of fiction can never be complete
until you become a part of it.

You see, as hard as we work in perfecting our stories, we always leave out one essential element-
the main character. And that's where you come in.

Once you have loaded Infocom's interactive fiction into your computer, you experience something akin
to waking up inside a story. You find yourself at the center of an exciting world that continually challenges
you with surprising twists, unique characters (many possessing extraordinarily developed personalities) and
original, logical, often hilarious puzzles.

For the first time, you are more than a passive reader. You can talk to the story, typing in full English sentences.
And the story talks right back, communicating entirely in vividly descriptive prose. What's more, you can actually
shape the story's course of events through your choice of actions. And you have hundreds of alternatives at every step.
In fact, an Infocom interactive story is roughly the length of a short novel in content, but there's so much you can see
and do, your adventures can last for weeks, even months.

And if you think getting inside a story is a pretty neat trick, just try getting out.

The most remarkable thing about Infocom's interactive fiction is that you become almost inextricably involved with it.
That's not our opinion-it's the testimony of our customers. They tell us their pulse rates skyrocket and their palms sweat
as they strive to solve the mysteries of our stories. And even when they pause in the course of their
adventures to attend to their everyday lives, their minds continue to speculate what the next step should be, how to alter
strategy, where the ultimate solution lies.

As hard as getting out may be, though, we've made it easy for everyone to get into Infocom's interactive fiction. We write stories
of all descriptions - fantasy, mystery, science-fiction, high adventure. And there are Infocom stories for everyone,
